The Andes and Rockies are lying on a great circle. The moon pulls the oceans up 5 to 15 ft. as it passes around. The only logical explanation for the crust upheaval of the mt chain is a passby of a body bigger that the moon and smaller than the earth.

So This...?

So i found out that i have to write a 3rd grade story. It sounds easy but its not. In this 3rd grade story i have to

(1)explain plate tectonics, earthquakes, volcanoes, volcanic eruptions and sea-floor spreading.

(2) Include reasons scientists believe the plates move and what causes them to move.

(3) My story should have vocab.

How do i write a story for a 3rd grade level on this stuff that is about a 5th grade level. This is not an essay but a story.

Does anyone have any ideas for this story?

I checked it out. Where I live, the Tennessee river has a hard side of limestone cliffs and a soft side of muddy bottoms. Why is the Grand Canyon hard on both sides.

why do you feel a gravitational force between two rocks when you hold them together and circle?

Hold two rocks together and have someone circle the rocks with a third rock. For some reason after 10 to 20 seconds you can feel a magnetic force between the two rocks.

Is global climate change going to cause human extinction?

I have been reading, and there is no denying a change in climate. I don't want to hear about polar bears, species have been going extinct for billions of years. I'm sure the first people of the planet were distraught to find no mammoth, but I'm sure they didn't miss sabre tooth tigers eating them. Climate change will change the coastline and our weather, but is it going to kill us, or will our coasts just move, and our humanity adjust and survive?

Why are rhyolites volumetrically less important that basalts?

I know this is a bit of an odd question, its for my geology essay and I really don't have a clue. Is it anything to do with density? or fractination in a magma chamber? I am confused!
